Could Foul Smelling Snot In A Child Be An Infection?

My 3 year old daughter has really smelly snot I took her to the doctors on Friday but to be honest he was hopeless and said it might be a infection , I told him I can see some thing tissue like up her nose he had a look and said its most likely muscus and gave her some piraton . I'm not happy still and I don't think that it's muscus because I can still see it . I have got her to blow her nose a few times but it's not moving to me it looks like its attached to her nose and I don't think it's an object or food . Have u any ideas what it may be

In Short: Foul smelling discharge from one nostril may be a foreign body

Explanation: In children while playing they might have put some foreign body like seeds/rubber into their nose. So, foul smelling discharge may be because of this.
You have already shown to a doctor, but you are not convinced. So do one thing, visit a ENT specialist who can look it very well through their special instruments and convince you accordingly.
Good luck
